In 2153, Hawkins accompanied CaptainArcher, LieutenantMalcolm Reed, and science officerT'Pol on a mission to board the VulcanstarshipSeleya, which the Enterprise crew had discovered derelict in the Expanse. While on board, they encountered the crew, who had become dangerously violent due to their exposure to trellium, a substance which had a toxic effect on the Vulcan nervous system. Hawkins was initially at odds with T'Pol, who reprimanded him for attempting to use the "kill" setting on his particle rifle to combat the Vulcan crew. Hawkins later conceded, however, that T'Pol had been correct, and that lethal force was inappropriate for what was intended to be a rescue mission. (ENT: "Impulse")

Later that year, T'Pol ordered Hawkins to stand by with an assault team in anticipation of Captain Archer requesting support in destroying a Xindikemocite facility. Archer decided to abort the attack, however, when he realized that the Xindi working at the facility were simply laborers, and were not involved with Xindi who had launched an attack on Earth previously in the year. (ENT: "The Shipment")

The next year, Hawkins was selected by Lieutenant Reed to accompany him and T'Pol on a mission to enter one of the Delphic Expanse spheres to retrieve a redundant memory core. As T'Pol attempted to retrieve the core, Hawkins and Reed stood guard, eventually coming under attack by a defense armature. As Hawkins attempted to destroy the robotic armature as it approached their position, the arm latched onto him, vaporizing him instantly. (ENT: "The Council")

The first initial "F", can be read on his name tag in "Impulse". Though he is identified as a corporal in "The Council", the equivalent section of dialogue from the final draft script of that episode instead referred to him as a lieutenant.
